There was a monkey climbed up a tree;

When he fell down, then down fell he.

There was a crow sat on a stone;

When he was gone, then there was none.

There was an old wife did eat an apple;

When she ate two, she had ate a couple.

There was a horse going to the mill;

When he went on, he didn’t stand still.

There was a butcher cut his thumb;

When it did bleed, then blood it did run.

There was a jockey ran a race;

When he ran fast, he ran apace.

There was a cobbler clouting shoon;

When they were mended, then they were done.

There was a navy went into Spain;

When it returned it came back again.
